billionaires like the koch brothers and the plutocrats secretly clustered around norquist's comrade, karl rove. this past election, norquist's group, americans for tax reform, spent nearly $16 million to support his favored candidates -- that's according to the center for responsive politics. where did that money come from, and what did it buy? back in the 1990s it was the tobacco industry backing norquist's fight against cigarette taxes. now, it's the pharmaceutical companies, among others. not long ago, this same grover norquist was using his organization to launder money for the notorious lobbyist jack abramoff. how about that for tax reform! check it out yourself in the documentary "capitol crimes" on our website billmoyers.com. you'll see the story of how the man who has the republican party under his thumb came to washington to start a revolution and wound up running a racket. now he's the proxy for the powerful interest groups that finance him. so, not only does the norquist pledge symbolize a "political system short on legitimacy," as christopher caldwell wrote, it isn't even abou

chuck schumer, jon kyl, joining jon karl. >>> some somber news this friday morning. we begin with the death of a true military hero. a man president obama has called an american original. he was a four-star general. but most americans simply knew him as stormin' norman. in 1990, norman schwarzkopf was a little-known army general looking towards retirement. a west point graduate and decorated officer for his service in vietnam, he spent his entire career in the army. but when iraq's dictator, saddam hussein, invaded kuwait in 1990, stormin' norman became a household name. as the leader of the u.s.-led international coalition that quickly drove iraqi forces out of kuwait, schwarzkopf achieved rock star status. he returned from the persian gulf a national hero. and was awarded the medal of freedom for service to his country. after retirement, he declined offers from both parties to run for political office. president george h.w. bush issued a statement saying, general norman schwarzkopf epitomized the duty service, country creed, that has defended our freedom and seen t

when jonathan karl asked the president what he thought of john mccain and lindsey graham's comments, i actually happened to be hosting the meeting that that happened at, it started a spark and you had a number of senators, john barossi was one susan collins who came out in expressing concern. two things were going on. ill feelings as a result of the election. combined with ill feelings about things that susan rice may have said about john mccain in the past combined with benghazi. they felt they were able to make the president pay a price somewhat of a small price in their eyes but still a price and they were tenacious and the president -- i think you're right. i think he finally caved because this would be a painful thing to have benghazi play out day after day after day while he's trying to deal with fiscal cliff issues. >> eliot: steve, i think that's exactly right. those factors all converged. but joe it seems to me the president miscalculated here because they saw the factors were adding fuel to the flames and the senators who were arguing their case, the republican senators, be

joining us is karl harrington. thanks for joining us, carl. how many people are we talking about specifically receiving these types of bonuses. how much money are we talking about? >> context is important here. we are talking about 48,500 workers receiving bonuses between $5,000 and $7,000. now, remember 26% of general motors, about 500 million shares of stock is owned by the united states government which happened as a result of the bailout which the united states taxpayer paid for. so bonuses at the end of the year, i think this is a very sweetheart deal to pay back the unions for their vote for the obama administration. not only are they getting bonuses between $5,000 and $7,000 at the end of the year after being bailed out buss they have no increase in their healthcare cost coverages and their per hourly rated which is approximately $58 per hour is going to stay in tact. this in my opinion is a big sweetheart deal directed by the united states government. >> so the bonus are not performance based or based on seniority. how are they determi
